Expertise

My previous research involved dissecting the molecular ecology of swine vesicular diseases including Foot-and-Mouth Disease Virus and Vesicular Stomatitis Virus.

My future interests include implementing risk assessments on individual farm management, environment and microbial populations to provide guidelines to maximize production by mitigating disease.

My primary research interests include understanding the ecological factors that drive viral evolution.
